Wade Claude E. 4

What Happened

Claude E. Wade, a director of Citizens Financial Group, received an award of 34.705 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 18, 2026. The reported acquisition price is $0.00 (transaction code A — award/grant), so the filing shows $0 as the cash value for the transaction. The Form 4 reporting this transaction was filed on February 19, 2026.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-18; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-19.
• Transaction type/code: A (award/grant) — 34.705 shares acquired at $0.00.
• Reported value on form: $0.00 (award of RSUs rather than a cash purchase).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: These RSUs were credited as dividend equivalents under the Amended & Restated Citizens Financial Group, Inc. 2014 Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan.
• Timeliness: Filing was submitted one day after the transaction date (Form 4s are generally due within two business days), so this appears to be timely.

Context

This was an issuance of compensation-related RSUs (dividend-equivalent credits) to a non-employee director — a routine form of director pay rather than a market purchase or sale. Such awards do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment; they reflect standard compensation mechanics under the company’s director plan.
